Scottish Parliament Local Government Committee Tuesday 15 February 2000 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:03]

I will start the committee meeting, comrades. We have received apologies from Jamie Stone, Donald Gorrie and Michael McMahon.

Before we begin, do members agree to take the item on the committee's draft report on the McIntosh report in private at the end of the meeting?

Although I have no objection, convener, I wonder what your motivation is.

I think that we will have a better discussion without the official report or the public present.

I do not have a problem with that.
